Still waters run deep in this baffling new case for the Charity Shop Detective Agency!

Wild swimming in February? No, thank you. It sounds like torture to Fiona, Daisy, and Partial Sue, the retired ladies behind the counter at Dogs Need Nice Homes charity shop.

Still, no one ever died of plunging into the icy waters around the sleepy little English town of Southbourne. Until now.

The body of Colin Barclay, retired PE master and wild-swimming fanatic, washes up in a secluded cove.

Days later, a shifty new customer comes calling at Dogs Need Nice Homes. "Is this where you solve murders?" she asks, her eyes darting wildly round the shelves of bric-a-brac. "I think I have one..."

This woman belongs to Colin's swimming club—and she's convinced his death was no accident. It was murder.

She just needs the ladies to dive in and help her prove it...

I have listened to and thoroughly enjoyed every single charity shop Detective mystery. I cannot wait for the next one to come out. I love Peter's style, the humor and the fact that they are three retired ladies, how awesome is that! I have been surprised in every book at who the killer is, that is huge!! I cannot say enough good things about his writing in this series!!

Death of a Wild Swimmer was a refreshing mystery for me. Part fun, part a vacation to the UK, and part a visit with old friends it was entirely enjoyable. I love mysteries that surprise me!

Refreshing Like a Swim in the Briney!

I like the characters and the plotting. Strangely I find that so many popular books rely on the protagonist being - well, stupid. These characters are bright and cute. Very refreshing and keep me guessing until the end.

Love this series
